Chapter 140 Wolf Dog (5)
"Look, we have followed so far, the footprints of these two people have never disappeared, and there are many sections of road that they have chosen the road, obviously wanting to leave a trace for us to chase us. With their ability to steal the corpse, how could they make such a low-level mistake?" Tsukada narrowed his eyes slightly, believing that his judgment would not be wrong.
"Yes, they have many opportunities to make their footprints disappear along the way. We can't pursue them by walking a section of the stream and canal. Zhongzuo, you are too clever and can see through the enemy's tricks at first sight. However, I am a little puzzled, what is their purpose of doing this? Are you just trying to lure us to take a detour?" Shanxia used a command knife to remove the red mud from his shoes while talking in confusion.
"Yes, what is their purpose?" Tsukada immediately thought about it when reminded by Yamashita. He had not thought about this problem before, but wanted to rely on four wolfdogs to track down the person carrying the corpse. Before he set out, he had never expected that these people would not cover up their whereabouts at all. The reason for bringing the wolfdogs was to prevent the goal from losing, but he never expected that it would be like this now. Looking at the wolfdogs who were still running forward excitedly and four exhausted dog soldiers, Tsukada always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't think of what was missing at once, which made him a little discouraged and simply stopped moving forward.
"Zakazuo, you just said that Shangzhuang is at most a meeting point for them, right? But after walking for so long, apart from these two people, no other footprints were found. Could it be that we were thinking too much? The enemy might forget to cover up their whereabouts when they were panicked." Yamashita did not dare to say that Tsukada's judgment was wrong, but instead expressed his own opinion in a tactful way.
"Convergence point, convergence." Tsukata murmured to himself. As if he had suddenly thought of something, he grabbed Captain Yamashita's shoulder and asked anxiously: "Which direction are the two teams you sent to pursue?"
"In the south, the enemy who was illuminated by the lights was very powerful. I couldn't blow him up even with dozens of grenades. In the forest not far from the city, he even let him kill and injured more than 20 soldiers." Yamashita was shocked by Tsukada's actions, and he answered hesitantly.
"You are not chasing far?" Tsukada was a little anxious and his voice became much louder.
"Not far away, no more than two kilometers from the south gate to get out of the city, no, at most one kilometer." The mountain was very nervous. He didn't understand why Tsukada showed such an impatient appearance.
"Bagayalu, why didn't you say this earlier?" Tsukada wished he could slap this guy twice.
After saying this, he immediately understood why the enemy deliberately left footprints for them to track them. He was now sure that there were only three enemies who robbed the corpse last night, one shot to lure them, and two carried corpses to escape. In order to cover the two people carrying corpses, the man who tempted them alone deliberately put himself in an extremely dangerous situation, and even spared his life to deal with the two teams of imperial troops to attract all his attention to him. The reason why the two people carrying corpses left such obvious footprints was that they hoped to be discovered and share the pressure of the person who fired the corpse. However, he did not expect that the idiot at the foot of the mountain did not find this in the middle of the night, which made them deliberately reveal their behavior so long before they were discovered.
Tsukada is very upset now. If he asked more questions when he was at the city gate, he would have a great chance to quickly track the enemy who fired the gun. After all, he had been alone with two teams of imperial troops, and his physical strength was inevitable. With the four wolf dogs he brought, the chance of catching up and capturing him was far greater than that he might not be able to find him by being led by someone.
"Nakasa, have you discovered something?" Tsukada's appearance made Yamashita panic. He didn't know where he made a mistake again, so he hesitated for a moment, and asked.
"Idiot, if you had told me the location and direction of chasing the gunman, we wouldn't have had such a big effort!" Tsukada cursed hatefully, and then asked again: "After dawn, have you sent troops to search for the forest where the battle was going?"
"Yes, Nakasa, I have sent someone to search, but no one found that the gunman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air." Yamashita felt guilty. He had personally visited the forest where so many people had died and injured. After collecting the body, he just searched around the nearby area for a while, and did not send troops to search the entire forest. Now when Tsukada asked this, he also discovered his mistake. The man and the two teams he sent were entangled until dawn. He had consumed so much physical strength and energy. He should have walked a long way. Maybe he hid in the forest. He missed the opportunity to seize the gunman. Now of course, he could not tell the mistake. With so many mistakes, he did not dare to add one to himself. He could only say that he had searched. As for Tsukada Nakasaki who didn't believe it, that was his business.
"No." Tsukata was talking to himself again. According to his thoughts, the gunman in the forest could not have the ability to run out. If it were Tsukata himself, his first choice was to hide in the forest and wait for the right opportunity before making plans.
Captain Yamashita vowed, but Tsukada did not doubt it. He would not have thought that this guy would lie to cover up his mistakes.
Continue to follow the footprints. When we were about to arrive at Shangzhuang Watchtower, the footprints finally got off the road, passed through the hole in the barbed wire, bypassed the watchtower, and arrived outside Shangzhuang Town. The footprints were also inadvertently buried in the messy imprints of life. Shangzhuang is a big town, living in many "good people" in the eyes of the Japanese. It was almost noon. The people who wanted to live, naturally had to work hard. Their footprints perfectly covered the footprints of the two people.
At this time, the wolfdogs played their role and led Tsukada and the others to two new graves.
Four wolf dogs kept barking at the two new graves, and their front paws kept plucking the red soil on the graves, as if they were trying to dig out the people buried in the graves.
"Zhu Zuo, what is buried here should be the corpse hanging on the city tower." What the mountain said was actually nonsense. Anyone who pulls a soldier over will give the same answer.
"Go and find a few hoes to dig the grave open." Seeing that Tsukada ignored him, Yamashita also noticed that he had said something stupid, and hurriedly pointed at a sergeant behind him and gave the order.
"No need!" Tsukata stopped the military officer, then walked to the grave, pulled away the wolf dog that was barking at the grave and slamming the new soil of the grave, squatted down, picked up a handful of soil with his white gloves, covered it on the grave, and said slowly: "It is the greatest death, and it is the best to be buried in the grave. Since it has been buried, we should not disturb them anymore."
Tsukada acted like a gentleman, but seemed to have forgotten that he had opened many graves on Qingtengling the day before.
